The type of bedrock is very important to gold recovery, I explain why in this video.

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Gary you are the creek geology guru, your way of explaining types of rock, and how is deposited, or occurrs as bed rock, are invaluable. Thank you!

[@DavidEide-ow5yz]

Thank you for informing great job

[@DRTLYFE]

Thank you Gary for the very valuable information and knowledge I have been doing this prospecting for close to 15 years maybe a little less and I have continually learned more skills, techniques and insite from you and others and I am very appreciative to have guys like you share this info and have such good teachers to help out with the dream thank you so much and really glad to see you out at the creek and rivers enjoying the life we still have thank you again for being such a huge part of my prospecting life and knowledge it is a blessing I hope you have a great day can't wait for the next video

[@mgwgeneral6467]

Don't call it a dream! Claim it! And make it a reality! 😄

[@addictedtobedrock5282]

When Gary speaks….I listen. Thanks for another vid and sharing your knowledge. 👍🏻

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Right on Gary, we all appreciate the pointers. Look forward to swinging coil with ya soon.

[@TwoToes]

You can't use the info to kick my butt! lol

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

@@TwoToes , I’m going to give it a hell of a try 😂👌. Lots of hookah action planned for this summer. Would be cool if you were there on a few of these brother.

[@ferdburphel2076]

Mornin......great lesson and well taught!

[@hoborobprospecting]

Thanks for showing us where the best places to find gold are. I know I've learned a lot from you these past few years of watching

[@odanfre]

I very recently started gold panning as a hobby with very little luck, but after watching your videos I have been consistently finding gold on every pan and yesterday I found my first nugget!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@robertw8897]

I watch a lot of videos on different techniques. Some have good information, some have things I know and some are videos of people talking to hear the sound of their own voice. The information that you shared with us in this video is pure gold in itself. Thanks for the education.

[@gorillagoldhunters]

Last 2 minutes were the best Gary! Thank you so much for everything. Literally same as the guy above. Started at age 17, 34 now n have ounces n ounces under my belt. New creeks new challenges. I can’t even count the gold I have found now, I have lived on it for 8 years on n off. Lol literally has kept me alive. These videos help me crack the placer gold code, an put food in my mouth. They also bring smiles to a lot of people I meet n curse them with gold fever. Lol Really appreciate your knowledge. It really does work. Half gram a day to quarter oz days now. All by hand . Friggin appreciate you gary!!!!!! Thank you!!

[@dorseyblack9833]

Morning Gary. Early starts mean more finds. Like this one.

[@alwaddle7390]

Words of wisdom from the gold wizard! You ROCK Gary! Thanks, Al

[@MrTTF420]

I was SO happy when you decided to clean out that crevice. 👍

[@landofsaguaros8330]

I'll say it's been working out pretty good! You basically kick but every time out! It's actually kinda funny watching the others all over the place, and you finding your spots and getting the gold. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Gary.

[@GSProspecting]

Loads of great info fam. What a blast fam. Nice au fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!

[@jasonyork4418]

Now that's teaching! Gary thank you for your wisdom!!! It's my first year prospecting and I'm chopping at the bit to go. Up here in Orient, Washington. And your information is just fornominal! In the late 1800's and early 1900's we had a gold rush here and Kettle Falls. Thanks for teaching us greenhorns!

[@mattgohlke8216]

This guy is amazing. I hope he's getting all the flowers he deserves.

[@anthonyrufo9113]

Thanks for the explanation of the different kinds of bedrock, it's going to save me a lot of time spent on places gold is not likely to be.

[@garyburkholder4170]

Thanks for the great information. It would be so easy to spend all your time looking at the wrong kind of bedrock. Cheers!

[@GilgoldProspecting]

Greetings Two Toes... Gilgold Prospecting San Antonio Tx where every day is a Gold'n Day... on the Trinity river heading north on the last leg of my trip. Wow... 5.7ozs to start the year. Wooohooo!!!! Heading home the feb25

[@TwoToes]

Sounds like a great start!

[@kathleentucker1238]

Really valuable information! Thanks Gary. Your lessons are easy to understand because you show actual examples in their environment, & specifically what to look for. I have a small poke left over from my times at Hunters Creek in Tuolumne. Most of it I gave to my grandson. I also have vials of semi precious stones that were in some of my pans

[@TwoToes]

I learned how to pan on the Tuolumne over 60 years ago, great memories!

[@RandyLunn]

Another great video filled with your knowledge and expertise. Thank you Gary.

[@susantoker7254]

Great observation. You are kind of a Sherlock Holmes with your observations and deductions!

[@FOUNDITBURIED]

THIS WAS A GREAT HOW TO VIDEO, TOE-TOES THANK YOU SIR! THIS WILL SAVE ALOT OF TIME. WHEN & IF I CAN GET OUT AND TRY ALL THESE TIPS I'VE WROTE DOWN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS OF WATCHING YOU. THANK YOU SIR! P.S I DO LIVE IN ONTARIO CANADA, BUT I DO KNOW FORSURE WE DO HAVE GOOD IN ARE RIVERS JUST NOT ALOT.

[@cisummar]

Gary, great info & great quality with your vids, you have a good mic, I can hear you clearly, even with the roar of the river next to you, I wish everyone would use the mic you use or how you use it, it's tough when they fade in & out while they are talking.That's great info on bedrock and you prove it by finding good gold in just the perfect crevice. I would have checked all those crevices you pointed out, I'll know what to look for next time, thanks for all you vids you do & taking the time to educate us,Thanks, Serg

[@ExploringAlabama]

We’ll finally found you again! Years ago someone sent me one of your yellow handled crack scratchers. I use it in city creeks all over the south! Do you still sell them? Noticed sold out on the link. Thanks. Ever get down south to gold hunt I’d love to accompany you

[@TwoToes]

I have been very busy with work the last couple of weeks, stock has gotten low. I should have time later this week to make a batch of them.

[@richardstone3339]

Gary that’s priceless information. I have been following your channel for some time. I am planning a trip in June for two weeks. I am looking forward to exploring to fine good bed rock et. This video gives very good fundamentals/ methods. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 😊👍

[@hippieHawk]

The key to finding more gold Gary is to follow you around.

[@karolyferenc3184]

Love your videos very informative and educative. All the best from UK!

[@rogerolander458]

Thanks Gary! I had heard of Crevicing but really didn't know anything about it until this excellent video. Learned a lot today, may have a go at it after the runoff.

[@MOSTIC2010]

As always you find the spots and you find the gold! Great info ! Hope to meet you in July.

[@bansheemining]

Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Love learning!! Nice pan!!

[@MerchantMarineGuy]

I’ve got two kinds of bedrock in my area, sandstone or basaltic andesite. Both are pretty soft and don’t fracture/crack well but often forms waves and dips, potholes where I’ve found some gold. The key is to find a hole that is filled with hard packed gravels and dirt, unfortunately they are often covered with overburden and only found by luck. Occasionally I’ll find a crack like dip going across the stream that extends into the bank and those can be productive.

[@lifeaccordingtogizzmoroncu9721]

I'll tell ya sir you have the best information and realistic videos I've found so far . I've been able to learn from you because your explanation is just about dead nuts on because I'm starting to find gold and that is a good thing but your also not sugar coating everything with bs it's not always gonna be color in the pan but your information has definitely improved my game and for that I'm thankful and you got another subscriber!

[@WildWestGal]

Excellent tutorial, as usual, Gary! As soon as the storms are over up here in So. Oregon, I'm heading to the river!

[@midasmarkprospecting7698]

Right on gary that was another great tip thank you for sharing your knowledge always know your gonna find gold with thes awesome lessons

[@melvinroehm821]

I would have cleaned that crevice spotless.great video gary

[@MadDogTor_]

You said "Bedrock" so many times, I'm starting to think you're Fred Flintstone! 😂 Good job, Gary. Impressive amount for that one crevice. You're clearly onto the formula. Cheers

[@48thstateprospecting]

Great bedrock class and no need to worry Jeff doesn’t watch your videos he only comments on them….. especially this one there’s no lead to be seen lol thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

[@kathleentucker1238]

🤣

[@jamesmudd2227]

Thanks for sharing your vast amount of knowledge Gary! Or as i like to call you.... Mr. Gold !!! Lol It's good to see Cali and the SW US getting some much needed rain! ⛏️⚒️🍺

[@robertebner3323]

Great video gary, can’t wait to go out and use my three crevice tools I got from you a couple weeks ago. I’m getting cabin fever over here in northern Nevada with all of this snow, thanks for you sharing 👍

[@rayfabris2512]

good morning nice information thank you

Thanks Gary, very interesting and a great lesson ❤

[@gorillagoldhunters]

Awesome video Gary!! Wealth of knowledge!!

[@jessecorrette6249]

Awesome video ! One of your most informational videos yet !

[@jeffholmes1362]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, very interesting, I’ve never thought about all the different bed rocks and how they behave. Thanks for sharing

[@C0017A]

Gary... As ALWAYS......a very informative and fun to watch video. :) More PLEASE!! You, Sir, are the MASTER on reading the stream and knowing exactly what to look for and how to best spend your limited time. When I visit my 87 year old Mom in Grass Valley (from Texas) I try and hit the NF American, but seems most all the bedrock where I can access is very soft slate or shale type. Nothing like your hard, greenish bedrock. I am forced to pry off slabs, settle for fine flood gold. Any recommendations when working old, black, soft, slate bedrock?? TIA. Randy "C-17A"

[@rigel1176]

Really good ..... like your explanation ......!!! I just go once in a while on the river ..... because I do machine placer mining mining ... only on sunday I enjoy to snipe .... With the family who are snipe and panning crazy ..... The kids allways like to make "wages" for there little wishes ... and work hard on the gold ...... They watch your tutorial attentive ....and have good panning skills ..... So ,- there are some tricks to , to make enough gold ( If you find the right spot hahaha) ,- so that a person can make some day wages ..... Me and my kids looking forward for more interesting tutorials from you Greetings ,- and stay healthy Gary

[@allencheck501]

Thanks gary,awesome as usual, look forward to the next one!

Thank you ,Gary.

[@ethanturner9110]

Any tips on finding a river or creek to search for gold in. I always worry if places are claimed or not. I'm from the Sonora Ca area. Thanks in advance

[@stevemyers2092]

Thank Gary - question Why not use the metal detector for gold in the crevices b4 digging in them _ I am new.

[@TwoToes]

A crevice can have a fair amount of gold in it that is too small for the detector to pick up.

[@TomBrucker-GoldenYears]

Good morning, nice rough gold pieces! How do you know what area’s have good bedrock?? Thank you for another great video. 👍

[@danbrent4618]

Thank you Gary it’s like getting a Masters Degree, Clear excellent teaching! This helps me a ton! If I can only get away from doing taxes and book keeping and get out in the Sierras! Dan Brent

[@raydowdy6914]

Although the crecises have been worked before after a couple of good floods is it possible to find gold?

[@TwoToes]

After a good flood gold will move, and some of it will end up back in the worked crevice. Each time there is a flood it moves some gold, the longer a crevice is unworked the more time it has to build up gold.

[@tommynoel9929]

Morning Mr. Toes

[@danlonganecker]

Mornin Gary and Bennett. 🇺🇸

[@MMProspecting]

Great info 👍🏼 just wish we east coasters had your luck and area

[@algorythemQ]

Question: Besides Whisky Run type gold is there any areas that are worth checking out on the central Oregon coast? pre-Thanks..

[@TwoToes]

My knowledge of the gold bearing areas only goes as far north as Redding CA.

[@robertcunninghammusic6712]

Excellent video very well explained and very useful!!

[@1000000trs]

Sage advice : learnt lots. Thanks Gary.

[@markthomas4083]

Two Toes is the best professor available to man. Your presentation is appreciated,all around inspiring. If you publish a book on your life and the knowledge that your are willing to share, I would purchase several (run on sentence from Haidies). Two toes and the other guy, Jeff 😁 educate with high success. You are humble and very knowledgeable. I need to download several videos of yours and listen on the next road trip back to Auburn, Ca. Keep it up Mr Gary!

[@TwoToes]

I was thinking of doing a series of videos about some of the adventures I have had in my life, but I'm thinking it won't happen because I don't want to go to jail.

[@tyler008c]

Makes sense thanks for the tips I can't wait panning season

[@BullProspecting]

I'm heading out now! I'm gonna make a video of what we have over here in New England! This is a new spot i never been to before so I don't know what I'll find! If I find anything at all. Slim Pickens over here! Great Video! That was a GREAT pan!!😃😃😃😃

This is one of your best videos in a long time Gary…thanks for doing it. Quick question…what is this Camp America 2023 I seen as the backdrop towards the end of the video?

[@TwoToes]

Whenever Todd (Top Cat Gold Prospecting) goes prospecting he puts up a flag at our base camp, he started calling it - Camp America - now we all do!

[@perryhanson7878]

I sure wish this weather would get better so I can try some of this stuff out

[@GrooberNedJardine]

Great information there Gary , you know those that don't get it would say that you're very lucky or you're just a gold magnet how you find so much gold , and or find gold while others are not , but that is not the case . The wealth of knowledge you possess gives you that advantage over others that are say , just learning or newbies or not evaluating their surroundings properly . That makes the difference between a successful prospector and those that are not . But mind you there are always such things as beginners luck , and that goes for prospecting and fishing too , 🤣 Cheers Ned . 👍👌✌✅

[@jessrose2274]

I’m only half way through and I’m ready to go look for crevices .. And some old bed rock .. with extra crevices 😊

[@navagatingthroughthebeasts2908]

Boy I have access to some tributaries that flow into Rollins lake* used to flow into bear river * There is a ton of sign from old prospectors , it'd be fun to pick your brain on it

[@davidg813]

You can find gold in any bedrock I live in New York state I go up to the Saint Lawrence River for vacations I have for years the whole area up there is bedrock and it's very hard Granite bedrock they say there's no gold in New York state so now I'm kind of wondering if that would be worthwhile thing to do but I still have my doubts based on the fact that what I've read there's no gold in New York state. My guess is the rivers way too deep you need something like a Babbling Brook type of situation
